✧For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation! ✧2You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah ✧3For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold. ✧4He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever. ✧5Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty. ✧6For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence. ✧7For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken. ✧8Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You. ✧9You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them. ✧10You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men. ✧11Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail. ✧12For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them. ✧13Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
